MAINTENANCE
CHANGING THE OIL
See Figures 15 - 16.
Replace the oil after the first 100 hours of operation and every 300 hours following the first oil change.
NOTE: Though not necessary, you may find it helpful to remove the wheel from the unit to easily access the oil drain.
To remove the wheel for draining the oil:
nBe sure the unit is sitting on a level surface to ensure proper drainage. It is advisable to place a prop, such as a brick or wood block, underneath the frame of the unit to keep it level once the wheel is removed.
nWith a wrench, loosen the hex head bolt. Remove the bolt.
nRemove the wheel, spacer, and hex nut.
To drain and replace the oil without removing the wheel:
nPlace a suitable container underneath the drain to collect used oil.
nRemove the drain plug with a 3/16 in. hex key.
nWhen the used oil has drained, reinstall the drain plug and tighten with the wrench.
nRemove the dipstick.
nTo refill, use a funnel to pour oil into the fill hole. Refill only with synthetic oil SAE 5W40.
NOTE: Avoid refilling with too much oil. Ensure that the level of the oil does not exceed the maximum reference level on the dipstick. The recommended amount of oil for refilling is 6 oz. (170g).
nReinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.
nIf the wheel was removed, reinstall the wheel, spacer, and hex nut. Tighten the hex nut securely with the wrench. Do not overtighten.
